Chapter 659: The Gods Gather
It's just that the scenery is still the same as before, but there are some differences compared to before.
The first is that the sky is completely dark, the sun has set, and there are only a few stars in the sky, so there is no light around. Of course, this would not have any impact on Xia Fan of the Divine Spirit Realm, so he could clearly see that there were twenty or thirty people standing around, some with embarrassed expressions, some with cold eyes, and some with a look of admiration......
Whether these people look outward or restrained, benign or hostile, they all have one thing in common, that is, they can't hide the shock in their eyes.
Secondly, it is now that the top of Luodan Mountain when Xia Fan fell has changed its appearance, and a big pit three or four hundred zhang deep has directly appeared. As for the missing part, it became the half of the stone mountain in Xia Fan's hand, but under the fierce bombardment just now, this half of the stone mountain also collapsed by more than half, leaving only a hundred zhang long.
After Xia Fan entered the battle in a hurry just now, of course it was impossible to cast his own spells, after all, he was now pretending to be Meng Ke, the national teacher of the Thousand Mountains Country, and because the Thousand Mountains Country was mountainous, the monks' spells were mostly based on manipulating the earth and stones to fight. Just like Xia Fan just now, it seems that he grabbed a stone mountain, but in fact, he borrowed the Luodan Mountain under his feet, which can be regarded as a relatively simple way to move.
Otherwise, even if Xia Fan had the strength of the Divine Spirit Realm, it would be impossible for him to gather a mountain four or five hundred zhang high out of nothing in a hurry.
Of course, Xia Fan's ability to successfully cast such a spell in the formation and successfully break the formation is also related to his mastery of the formation.
He had been prepared from the time his feet landed on the Luodan Mountain, and even the landing point was carefully selected, so he was not affected too much by the formation when he cast the spell, and at the same time, the stone mountain rose up, which itself had a certain impact on the formation, and then his furious blow could break the formation at once.
All of this seems very simple, as if Xia Fan completed it casually, but behind it is his keen observation, precise calculation and bold attempts, and if he lacks a little, he may not be able to break out of the formation so easily in the end.
It was precisely because Xia Fan broke the formation in such a shocking way that both the people who set up the formation and the people who watched the excitement in the formation felt particularly surprised.
"Who are you?!" Xia Fan glanced at everyone, and he was already sure that his guess was right, everything before was just a test, but he didn't show that he saw through everything, but looked at everyone with anger and murderous intent, and he would start fighting again if he didn't agree with him.
"Don't be angry first, I just said, I didn't have any malice, it's just a little joke and a small test. Just now, he had spoken out to dissuade Xia Fan's humanity: "Everyone present has had such a test when they came, after all, our treasure hunt is not a trivial matter, we always have to find some Taoist friends with equal strength and like-minded people, right?"
"What you said also has some truth, who are you?" Xia Fan asked after looking at the handsome man opposite, but with a pair of peach blossom eyes, so he looked very frivolous.
"I am Hehuan Shinto, the initiator of this treasure hunt. As he spoke, Hehuan Shendao pointed to a woman next to him who was wearing a long aqua blue dress but covered her face with a black veil and said: "This is Shuiqing Daoyou, from Oolong Valley, and she is the one who just tested Daoyou, and the two of them can be regarded as not knowing each other." ”
"Oolong Valley, hum!" As soon as Xia Fan heard the word Oolong Valley, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly, looking at Shui Qing's eyes with coldness.
Shui Qing didn't speak, but there was no kindness in the eyes that looked at Xia Fan.
This posture is just not blind, everyone knows that the two sides are not quite right.
The reason why Xia Fan showed strong hostility towards Shui Qing was not because Shui Qing was vicious when he cast a spell in the formation just now, and he had the opportunity to kill himself in the test, but because the Oolong Valley and the Thousand Mountains Country were adjacent but had a grudge for hundreds of years, as long as the people on both sides met, it was basically the result of either you die or I live. If Xia Fan behaved very kindly now, talking and laughing with Shui Qing, it would arouse suspicion, and at the same time, it would not be in line with what he should be like as a national teacher of the Thousand Mountains Country.
"Daoist Meng Ke, I don't know if the king of your country, Meng Tong, is in good health recently?" Hehuan Shendao said with a smile: "When I went to the Thousand Mountains Country a year ago, I had the honor to meet ......."
"Have you really been there?!" As soon as Xia Fan heard Hehuan Shendao's words, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but his mouth interrupted his words and said: "The king Meng Tong you said has been dead for many years, and the current king is Meng Hu, you said that you saw King Meng Tong a year ago, are you a ghost?!"
Speaking of this, Xia Fan sneered, full of sarcasm.
"Haha, yes, yes, it seems that I remembered it wrong, don't blame Meng Ke Daoyou. When Hehuan Shendao heard Xia Fan's words, he immediately laughed and apologized.
Xia Fan knew in his heart that Hehuan Shendao was not a mistake at all, but a test of his origin. If he hadn't known the details of the Qianshan Kingdom from the spiritual jade that Lu Chuan gave him, he would have been bluffed by Hehuan Shendao, and then follow his meaning to say that the current king is Meng Tong, then he would really be exposed on the spot. After all, if a national teacher doesn't even know who the king is, then there is a chance that it is fake.
After such a temptation, Hehuan Shinto believed in Meng Ke's identity, and was a little more affectionate to him, and then pulled him to introduce others to him. Basically, the people present are all powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm, and even if they didn't know each other before, there are topics to talk about.
After chatting for a few words, Xia Fan realized that although he was not the latest, it was definitely not early, and he was almost seven or eight from the bottom. According to Hehuan Shinto, they would only wait one more night, and if the rest of the people did not come at dawn, they would not wait.
Since Hehuan Shinto said that everyone who came to participate in the treasure hunt had to go through the test, the rest of them were of course no exception, although the formation was broken by Xia Fan, but with the help of several powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm, it quickly recovered as before. If it weren't for the fact that the mountain destroyed by Xia Fan would not have been able to change back to its original state, it would really be no different from when Xia Fan came before.
Xia Fan watched coldly, but he probably judged how accomplished Hehuan Shendao and the others were in the formation.
"Presumably Daoist friends already knew before they came, in addition to hunting for treasures, the purpose of this gathering is also to invite you to come over to discuss the important matter of borrowing troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion in our country......" After repairing the formation, Hehuan Shendao found Xia Fan again, and explained his intention without going around in circles, and then asked, "I don't know how many troops the Qianshan country where Daoyou is located can send troops?"
"We have few people in the country of Qianshan, and there are strong enemies around us, so it is impossible to send too many troops and horses to help you fight. Xia Fan stretched out three fingers and said: "But since Daoyou said it, we can only send 30,000 soldiers and horses to help at most, and in addition to the grain and grass provided by your Blue Jade Country, the spoils after the battle must also belong to us." If you agree, then I'll stay, if not, then I'll go. ”
"Since Daoyou said so, let's do it. Hehuan Shendao smiled: "But when the 30,000 soldiers and horses come to help in the battle, I hope that Daoist friends can also come to help in person." ”
"Well said, well said. Xia Fan said with a smile: "Naturally, I will also come, otherwise I will hand over 30,000 soldiers and horses to you, and my king will not worry." ”
"That's fine. Hehuan Shendao nodded, led Xia Fan aside and said, "Fellow Daoist, sit down first, and when we are sure that there are no more Daoist friends, we will set off to the place where the Great Wilderness Ancestor's cave is located." ”
Don't look at Hehuan Shendao's beautiful words, and his attitude is also kind, but he didn't reveal where the Great Wilderness Ancestor's cave house was from beginning to end. Obviously, he didn't trust the people present, so he didn't expose such an important news.
Because of the ferocity and ferocity that Xia Fan showed when he broke the formation before, he was quickly recognized by the powerhouses of the gods and spirit realms who came to seize the treasure. At least whether it's true or not, the vast majority of people are quite friendly to him. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Shui Qing, she has been looking at Xia Fan with very unkind eyes, and the few people standing with her have no kindness in their eyes when they look at Xia Fan.
Xia Fan didn't care about this. Even he thought it was good. With such an obvious enemy as Shui Qing, at least his identity as the so-called national teacher of the Thousand Mountains Country will be even more flawless. As for Shui Qing's hostility, Xia Fan didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, this kind of enemy on the surface is far safer than the so-called friend who smiles in the face and stabs in the back.
In the second half of the night, another person came, about fifty or sixty years old, giving people the feeling of an old dragon clock, but no one present would despise him.
One is that he has the strength of the Divine Spirit Realm, and the other is because his attainments in the formation are really extraordinary.
When he came to Luodan Mountain, he didn't directly enter the formation as if he couldn't find the formation at all like Xia Fan, but turned left and right, and then said: "This formation is too rough, if it is used to test the old decay, it is really a little unqualified, Hehuan Shendao, do you come out to meet the old decay by yourself, or let the old decay force you out?"
"Don't dare to work hard, I'd better come out by myself. Hehuan Shinto didn't continue to hide, and directly revealed his figure, and at the same time greeted the comer.
"Who is this old man? It seems that Hehuan Shinto seems to respect him very much. ”
"You don't even know about him?! He is known for being proficient in formations, and he has entered the Dao with formations and cultivated to the formation of the god realm. ”
"As soon as you say this, I remember, I heard that this person is not young anymore, and there are rumors that he is only half a step away from the Grandmaster Realm, I didn't expect him to appear today, it seems that the face of Hehuan Shinto is really not small. ”
"I don't think it's necessarily that Hehuan Shendao has a big face, but that the Great Wilderness Ancestor has a big face. ”
......
Xia Fan hadn't heard much of Jinsuo's name before, but now that he heard the people around him talking, he couldn't help but glance at him more, and found that he looked old, but standing there, he was like a Yuanyu Yuezhi, and his bearing was extraordinary. It can be seen that what the people around him said is not false, and the strength of this formation is not weak.
